NOT CONVINCED?

Still not convinced? Well here are 10 more incredible reasons why this book is a truly amazing purchase.

1. Educational – We’ve made the challenges in each character section about different key traits that most parents would want to see in their children including, honesty, bravery, helpfulness and kindness. We’ve very carefully done it in a way that makes the challenge (story) fun for the child but also provides the parent an opportunity to reinforce positive traits and how doing the right thing results in success

2. Free bedtime reading guide with every purchase – our favourite and for good reason. We’ve packed a raft of interactive features into our books to make sure that your special 0-8 year old has the most amazing bedtime stories including a hidden Shadow King on each page for the adventurer to find; a repeated paragraph in each character section that your child will quickly learn and be able to read with you and many more

3. Giving something back – this is particularly important to us. We donate 10% of our profits to children’s charities and help our customers to donate too. Our book launch included free books for children in hospital over Christmas and we are in the process of selecting a children’s literacy charity to help improve reading click here for further details on our charitable giving page

4. Illustrations, illustrations and illustrations – yes – we are so excited that we persuaded Adam to do the illustrations for our book. He is fantastic and has created the most amazing set of characters and scenes. They are all available for you to see online before you purchase. Please use the ‘create your book’ to try out different letter options and see what got us so thrilled!

5. Referral scheme – we love it when our friends help us spread the word. As a thank you to all involved we give you £5 for each referral that makes a purchase and your friend gets a discount code for money off their purchase. It is all tracked electronically through the scheme – watch out for your email with the details. click here for details

6. Diversity matters – we want little adventurers from all around the world to be able to enjoy our book. We’ve started with three choices for your child’s appearance and hope to increase the choices over time

7. Enhanced personalisation – it’s important that our adventurer gets excited about being the ‘star’ of the book. That’s why we’ve put their name on the front cover as well as the inside. You can also pick the character that most resembles your child and the ‘giver’ can add their own personal message to the front of the book making it a great keepsake

8. Wide format – recognised as the optimum way to show full page illustrations. Additionally our books are printed on thick durable paper to last and give a real luxury feel.

9. Bespoke story – yes – EACH story is different and unique depending on your child’s name. JANE would meet a Jaguar, Alien, Ninja and Elephant where RICK would meet a Rhino, Iguana, Cheetah and Koala. Who will your child meet?

10. A real adventure – Not all books are equal! In ours, the young adventurer needs to beat the Shadow King to recover the letters of their name. They are accompanied by their Teddy, taking on the role of an advisor / conscience (think Jiminy Cricket in Pinocchio) and they have a clear quest that takes them through challenges and new learnings (basically all of your classic storytelling techniques rolled into one great adventure!)

My nephew absolutely loved his personal story book! He just turned 3 and actually sat through the whole story to the end! The only problem is that his brother was sad he doesn't have a story about him. Needless to say he will be getting one for Christmas! Your shop has great communication and it was a lovely experience! Thank you :)

Lauren Capek

Great book and helps younger kids learn to spell their name. I love that my child is a part of the adventure. The illustrations are lovely and the message of "do the right thing" is a lesson to learn from the book. The customer service was outstanding and I received my book very quickly.

I ordered three of these books for kids in my life and I'm so anxious to gift them on their birthdays. The books are excellent quality and they were shipped within the day! The shop owners were very responsive and a pleasure to deal with.
